Abstract:		 Analysis undertaken on samples from the south-east tower floor, the garderobe, the main range, and the west wing resulted in the successful dating of 22 timbers, with an additional eight timbers having been dated previously from the roof of the south-east tower. In the main range two first-floor ceiling beams and a ground-floor lintel are dated as felled in the range AD 1573-98, whilst the timbers of the roof and a ground-floor ceiling beam were felled in the very early AD 1760s. In the west wing a ground floor and a first-floor ceiling beam and a ground-floor lintel have been dated as felled in the range AD 1648-66, whilst the roof contains timber felled in, or around, AD 1760. The previously dated timbers from the roof of the south-east tower were felled in the range AD 1757-82 but in addition two ceiling beams may also be contemporary or slightly later with a felling date range of AD 1767-92. No samples from the garderobe were dated.
